Good comfort food - Edit
We got the munchwrap and a chicken bacon avo club with a couple of alterations. The food came as ordered and was ready to go when we arrived. Be sure to stir the Mac and cheese if you get take out because the cheese settles to the bottom!

Update: We got takeout from Native Foods again and tried the Senegalese Trio. It was really good and I recommend trying it!

all vegan comfort food - Edit
The first time I ever went to Native Foods was at this location in Chicago. I had the Oklahoma Vegan Cowboy Sandwich w/ sweet potato fries. This is hearty fare and portions are big. For a nice cheap date you could easily split an order of vegan nachos w/ a significant other or a friend. Native Foods is all vegan and is a great company especially for a chain which has good values I feel plus is the perfect place to bring people on the fence about trying familiar comfort foods veganized. Yay, for Native Foods!!

Amazing cheeseburger - Edit
Although it looked cozy to eat there, it was way too cold, so we decided to order to go. Unfortunately the sweet potato fries were therefore flabby.

Delicious … - Edit
I took a chance, based on reviews, to Fran a quick dinner at Native Foods. I am so glad that I did. I went a bit wild … having the lavender lemonade and elite dip … moving on to the tacos … and finishing with the bistro burger on a pretzel bun. OMG! A taste sensation. Everything was so delicious.

Great meal after a long train ride - Edit
I needed a nice, hearty meal after the train into Chicago. This was a walkable distance and was our first choice since it’s all vegan. The burgers were great, the juice was fresh, and the mac and cheese was soooo good.

This place is incredible - Edit
As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the owner with great vibes. The full menu is vegan and has so many options. I got the bbq brisket sandwich and it was just amazing. I loved this place

My Favorite Vegan Restaurant in Chicago - Edit
I'm a huge fan of Native Foods. The selection is great, fresh ingredients and the dishes have so much flavor! I recently tried the "shrimp", the BBQ
Read more"Chicken" salad and the Oatmeal Cream Pie for the first time. EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT!
As a vegetarian foodie, you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. I also really love the Buffalo Chicken wrap and the Soul Bowl - my go-to orders.
Dining area is always clean - recently upgraded with a mural. Staff is always super friendly and service is quick. I've eaten in, ordered takeout and ordered online for pickup - always a great experience.

Super Delicious and Cute - Edit
Wowwwww!
Read moreWe got a jalapeno burger and a Nashville fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries and Mac and cheese. We also got a strawberry lemonade and a watermelon juice. The menu and the meals we got had insane variety and everything was delicious. Just wow overall!
Everything was so fresh and delicious and this is after we took it to the waterfront to eat, so that's at least a ten minute walk.
Service was excellent too - we rolled in half an hour to closing and they still served us (after we checked that was alright of course!).
Can't reccoment highly enough.

Fast, delicious vegan food - Edit
So many great options and food came very fast, amazing for a business district. I had the awesome munchwrap supreme and sweet potato fries, plus a starter of cauliflower dippers (they’re huge). Will go whenever in the Loop.

Chill lunch - Edit
We’ve had Native foods before but hadn’t had it in a while. My husband loved his sandwich. I thought my salad was okay but I can be picky when it comes to bbq sauce. I wish I’d gotten the taco salad. The elote was good! And we also got a chocolate chip cookie which was great. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so nice. It also has good seating options! Great option for a lunch.

They’re back! - Edit
I’ve been going to Native Foods for close to 25 years. I have always loved native foods. Unfortunately, the original chef/founder is no longer associated with the business and the chain is being run by accountants. Many of the locations around the country have closed, including most of the Chicago locations. The food can be hit or miss sometimes when I order from here it is very good and many times is just not prepared that well. YMMV. 
Read moreEdit: Under new management. This location is independently owned and operated. It’s much better and more consistent.

Native Foods - Edit
I have been eating here since NF first opened so many years ago. It’s a solid option for vegans, but I usually eat here as a treat because I view it as vegan comfort / junk food. Definitely worth a stop!
